INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION
PRESS STATEMENT

CLARIFICATION ON ALLEGED AI-GENERATED PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE PRELIMINARY REGISTER OF VOTERS

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has noted public concerns and reports circulating on social media regarding suspected AI-generated photographs appearing in the Preliminary Register of Voters recently published on its website.

The Commission wishes to clarify that the register published online on 26 October 2026 is the same preliminary register physically displayed at Registration Areas (RAs) nationwide from 9th to 15th October 2026 as part of the Display, Claims and Objections exercise.

During the physical display, a number of questionable registration records were identified and flagged for further examination. The Commission commenced the process of reviewing these records and taking appropriate corrective action in accordance with established procedures.

The online publication represents the original preliminary register and does not reflect all ongoing data-cleanup activities.

It is important to emphasize that the preliminary register is not the final certified register. The Display, Claims and Objections exercise is specifically intended to facilitate public scrutiny, identify inaccuracies and irregularities, and enable appropriate corrections before certification.

The Commission is also examining the circumstances surrounding the suspicious photographs, including possible technical or procedural lapses, and will take appropriate action based on verified findings.

The Commission appreciates the vigilance of citizens and stakeholders who have brought these concerns to public attention. Such scrutiny contributes to the process of improving the accuracy and integrity of the register.

INEC remains committed to completing the necessary verification, adjudication, and data-cleanup processes ahead of the scheduled certification of the final Register of Voters on 15th December 2026.

The Commission assures Nigerians that verified irregularities will be addressed through the applicable procedures and that further updates will be provided as the review progresses.

Mohammed Kudu Haruna
Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee (IVEC)
27th October, 2026

Start the investigation immediately, we don't want to hear that "We will" , start now.

All your rigging plans will be bursted .. we will no longer allow criminals to continue to lead our country

When you hear this thieves in APC talk about structure, you will think it's something sensible but they actually meant rigging structure, structure of criminality.

Peter Obi will defeat you all in 2027, Nigerians will ensure that this time.

Who do you people think you're fooling....

AmuPETa must resign. Enough is enough.

Tinubu is bent on destroying everything he met on ground, all the state institutions must be captured by him to rule over Nigeria.

Crises is brewing all because of one man obsession for power. This crises if allowed by well meaning Nigerians will consume everyone and everything we have achieved as a country.

You guys must think we’re all fools.

When Lere Olayinka shared a photo of a backend administrator page, what did you guys do?

All your plans are revealing as time passes. I just hope you guys don’t set this country on fire for one man’s insatiable greed next year.

Election hasn't started and INEC is already saying this below:

"The Commission is also examining the circumstances surrounding the suspicious photographs, including possible technical or procedural lapses, and will take appropriate action based on verified findings."

Who will hold them accountable?

There are a lot of duplications in this @inecnigeria portal for voter's registration. This obviously would be one big loop hole since
- The person can vote once (Same finger print) and can count twice or even more.

And ensure you make the investigation public..

Don't sweep it under the carpet like others before it..

We have witnessed how an electoral body conniving with start actor swap forms EC8A in Kogi, and how figures were blatantly changed during collation Edo.. nobody has answered for those malfeasance till today..

The court should learn to stop.rewarding those that opt to kpai our Democracy. They are Nigerians too... we would have a Nigeria first before having a Judiciary.
